This homemade dairy-free ice cream is smooth, creamy, and perfect for those who want a rich dessert without using milk or cream. Non-dairy creamer helps achieve the perfect texture, making it a delicious frozen treat!

📝Ingredients:

• 2 cups Non-dairy creamer 

• ½ cup Coconut milk or almond milk (for extra creaminess)

• ½ cup Sugar or sweetener of choice

• 1 tsp Vanilla extract (for classic flavor)

• ½ tsp Xanthan gum (optional, for a smoother texture)

• 1 tbsp Cornstarch (for thickening)

• ½ cup Chopped chocolate, fruit, or nuts (optional)

👨‍🍳Instructions:

1. Heat the Base:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together non-dairy creamer, coconut milk, sugar, xanthan gum, and cornstarch.

   • Stir continuously until the mixture thickens slightly (do not boil).

2. Add Flavoring:

   • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (or any other flavor like chocolate or strawberry).

3. Cool the Mixture:

   • Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).

4. Churn the Ice Cream:

   • If using an ice cream maker, churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

   • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour into a container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 3 hours to prevent ice crystals.

5. Add Mix-Ins & Freeze:

   • Once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, fold in chocolate chips, fruit, or nuts if desired.

   • Freeze for another 2-3 hours until firm.

6. Serve & Enjoy!
